Abstract

Bead on plate welds were carried out on AISI 316L(N) austenitic stainless steel using flux cored arc welding process. The bead on plates weld was conducted as per L25 orthogonal array with statistical design of experiment technique. In this paper, the welding parameters will be optimized based on the weld bead geometry such as depth of penetration, bead width and weld reinforcement. Grey relational analysis and desirability approach are used to optimize the input parameters like wire feed rate, voltage, travel speed and torch angle while considering the multiple output variables simultaneously. Confirmation experiment has also been conducted to validate the optimized parameters.
